Dental veneers are thinly custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials bonded over the front surface of teeth, like a false fingernail fits over a nail. Veneers are used improve aesthetics of a smile by masking tooth discolorations, closing gaps between their front teeth, fixing misaligned and  irregularly shaped teeth and restore chipped or worn tooth. There are two common material used to fabricate a veneer: composite resin veneer and porcelain veneer. Porcelain veneers resist stains better and mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.
